  1. Or in the real world Nige got a very good pay off and part of that agreement would be he is not able to.
  2. Well as one of the biggest holiday get away weekends even if NP was here there would be lots of empty seats
  3. How about, if prem clubs relegated feel they need a parachute payment to continue funding the club due to players contracts, they start the season with a points deduction, the bigger the PP the bigger the deduction on a sliding scale. This would encourage clubs to be prudent, but if they want to keep the prem players on high wages they will not just walk the league like they do now. Would need a bit of analysis to get the scale of deduction correct, but it could level up the championship, rather than at least 2 PP clubs going up every year
  4. Have to disagree, £1.5m for a player not to have played 1st team football is significant, Latvia is just crazy, Mebude obviously no where near that level and had he have been he would not be effectively on trial for us.
  5. Man city? They sold him for a significant fee
  6. I suspect it was due to LM knowing him previously. But I don't see the problem, He was a very highly rated lad at Man City, who got a move to Belgium which did not work out (many young players have problems settling away from home in a foreign country.) We have him on loan with an option to buy, so cost us a bit in wages which allows us to see if he is a gem or not up to it, and if we decide he is not he goes back. Not even close to being our worse signing
  7. Some interesting stats, after a few games under LM I thought we started to change style and seen some good signs without maybe the results. Over the recent group of games we have regressed and at times gone away from trying to keep the ball and gone back more to how we played under nige of hitting hopeful balls in behind teams into the channels and trying to catch them, but in reality give the ball away quickly. The difference under Nige we pressed very well and won the ball back alot high up the pitch. I never wanted NP sacked nor did i want LM, but equally do not pretend the football was always that great either under NP. It's understanding why LM has gone away from Manningball he was trying to introduce to something that sits between the 2 styles and so ineffective. Comments have been made about stubborn to not change, but I think he has and for the worse. Maybe trying to be to clever and altering our game plan each time we play depending the opponents? lack of consistency of starting line up? Maybe down to player confidence, we seemed to be moving the ball slow and with a lack of movement, players lacking bravery to take a player on when it's easier to play backwards. Have we been missing James much more than we realise? LM needs to start showing very quickly he can get results and has ideas on how the team will be set up and play next season otherwise the rest of the fans will follow those who want him out and maybe the people who make the decisions will also loose faith
  8. I thought so, offside player in front of max blocking his view and moves so he does not touch the ball. No surprised with how bad officials have been its not given.
  9. Here we go another ref making it up and guessing, even westvbrom commentators saying how soft that free kick was
  10. I posted on the match day thread, that some players were hiding on the pitch, if they are worried, I suspect it is more about getting it wrong and the moans and groans that come from the stands, its easy as supporters to blame everyone else without looking at our own impact
